Madonna to Make Jesus a Summer Bride

Madonna and her boy-toy Jesus Luz are all set to get married. Well, sort of. Jesus Luz’s father has confirmed to a Brazilian magazine that his 22 year old son is set to wed the 50 year old Material Girl in a non-legally binding Kabbalah commitment ceremony. But although the couple will be linked together by the service, Madonna won’t be needing a prenup.

Per NYDailyNews via Brazil’s Quem (Who) Magazine:

“The kabbalah ceremony [in New York that] will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy.” says Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz. “I don’t know if there will, in fact, be a real marriage between Madonna and my son. It will be a type of ritual, but I do not know Kabbalah [or if the ceremony] will have legal validity. I’ve spoken by phone with Madonna – in French, because my English is not fluent – and she appears to me to be a normal and polite person. She is feminine. I don’t feel she is a harsh person.”

The couple have already been acting like a family unit as they reside together in Madonna’s Central Park West apartment. Jesus has allegedly stepped up as a father figure for Madonna’s kids, playing ball with the kids, according to his father. Sounds like he’d make a good nanny to me, but husband material? Wonder what Guy Ritchie has to say about that!

Victoria Gotti In Foreclosure

Another day, another foreclosure – The Gotti’s gotta go! Mafia Princess Victoria Gotti long island estate is facing foreclosure after she has failed to pay a whopping $650,000 in mortgage payments on what may very well be the tackiest home in all of New York. The lender, JP Morgan Chase, claims the daughter of the late Gambino crime family boss John “Dapper Don” Gotti has failed to make payments for two years starting in September 2006. Gotti lives in the house with her three sons in the five-bedroom, 8,500 square foot home. The Gotti estate, which includes a swimming pool, tennis court, stables, guesthouse, waterfalls, a playground, a tacky fountain or two, a pond, and even a go-kart track, stretches over four acres in the blue-blooded enclave of Old Westbury, NY. It is the same house used in the her family’s tv reality show “Growing Up Gotti.” The show also featured Victoria’s spikey gel-headed disrespectful sons Carmine, John, and Frank, but was eventually canceled after because of poor ratings.

After divorcing her husband Carmine Agnello in 2003, Victoria became the the sole owner in 2005 with the bank transferring the deed to the house and the surrounding property over to Gotti. The bank says Gotti owes them $25,000 a month on the house, and claims she never made all the payments. Her mother, also named Victoria, says that her daughter’s “creep” ex-husband was to blame. Gotti claims she was unaware that Agnello had taken out an $850,000 loan out on the home before the transfer of the deed. Agnello, who was recently released from prison after serving eight years for racketeering, has allegedly not paid alimony or child support for her three sons and is now living in Ohio with a new wife.

Per NYDailyNews:

“He still owes the federal government nearly $10 million and yet they still allow him to live this way?” she said.

Gotti once tried to sell the home for $4.8 million but lowered the asking price this past January to $3.2 million. Gotti has been dancing around foreclosure for a couple of years now. In 2007, a lower court decision called a foreclosure on the property by JP Morgan Chase premature, but a Brooklyn appeals court reversed that ruling last week, as well as approving a plan to appoint a referee to coordinate the sale of the home.

Per Fox News:

“I was awarded full ownership of marital property . . . and all I inherited was a house with millions of dollars’ worth of debt,” Gotti told The Post yesterday. “This should finally put to rest all the government lies and rumors that I have $200 million buried in my back yard.”

Well, when things are garnered by ill gotten gain, you can’t expect to keep them. Seems blood money, lies and deceit purchased this home. I’ve always hoped this family would get a fraction of what was coming to them, and now they have. Thats Karma for ya!

Kiefer Sutherland Defends Brooke Shields And Breaks A Nose

The biggest news to come out of the MET Costume Gala Monday night wasn’t Rhianna’s D&G suit, or Anne Hathaway’s FemmeBot hair-do. Instead of what people were wearing, the buzz is all about Brooke Shields, Jack Bauer, and a broken designer nose. Say what?

According to various reports today, while at an after party at SubMercer, Kiefer Sutherland witnessed Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough knock sometimes actress Brooke Shields to the floor. Channeling his inner knight-in-shining-armon, Sutherland approached McCollough and demanded he apologize. That’s why the boo-boo hit the fan…or the head hit the nose.

Via Guest of a Guest:

“The REAL talk of the town belongs to a certain fight that broke out at SubMercer. Apparently that’s where Kiefer Sutherland HEAD BUTTED Jack McCollough so hard that he BROKE the designer’s nose!”

Whereas you and I would be flattered to have someone defend our honor, apparently Brooke doesn’t want to be left off the swag list of Proenza Schouler. Her people are denying that there was any altercation between her and McCollough.

Via TMZ:

“Shields’ reps tell TMZ the man Kiefer headbutted Monday night in no way did anything to Brooke that would have warranted the alleged attack.”

There has been no report as to whether or not Sutherland was acting under the influence of alcohol. The actor is known for his many trips to rehab. I would like to believe that he was merely acting out a scene from next season’s “24” where Jack Bauer headbutts both Fiorentini + Baker and steals me the Eternity Boots in gray suade. I can dream, right?

Project Runway Returns!

Let choirs of angels rejoice! The fashion heavens have parted the sea of legal battles and a ray of sun hath risen “Project Runway.” Birds are singing in jubilation, children are parading in the streets singing of the return of Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum.

Bravo and Lifetime have been battling over reality hit, “Project Runway.” Finally, all regards to the fate of the show have been legally settled and will return to tv. People has confirmed the final season, which has already been shot with a finale filmed at New York Fashion Week last month, will make it air this summer.

Sadly, the show will not return to it’s original home. Lifetime won the rights and everything will move from New York to Los Angeles. The reigning judges panel will remain with Heidi Klum, Michael Kors and Nina Garcia. Tim will also be there to mentor and guide the rising designers. (Yay for me. I can stalk Tim Gunn better this way. Er…I mean worship from afar.)

The show has gathered a celebrity following. Last season we were treated to a few guest judges that ranged from L.L. Cool J to Natalie Portman. Jennifer Lopez was due to be a final judge, but backed out last minute because she stubbed her toe…had the trots or something ridiculous like that. Season 6 will feature Christina Aguilera, Eva Longoria Parker and Rebecca Romijn. (I am hoping Eva is also stricken with a wicked toe stubbing and will be forced to be replaced.)

Bravo is replacing their fashion reality jewel with another style challenging show. The creative title for the replace is called, “The Fashion Show.” This sounds like an disaster waiting to happen. Isaac Mizrahi, who owes me $39.95 for some bed sheets that lasted 2 months, is joining forces with Kelly Rowland. I can just picture Kelly trying to work it like Heidi and treated the eliminated guest to her rendition of ’N Sync’s “Bye, Bye, Bye” while Isaac dances in the background.

Princess Diana Named Queen of the Gay Community

Britain’s late Princess Diana has been declared a Gay Icon by a panel of 10 homosexual men and women, including Elton John, Billie Jean King, and Sir Ian McKellen. They nominated the Princess of Wales as someone who “inspired them and helped shaped who they have become.” She was chosen by Waheed Alli, and executive TV producer and a member of the “House of Lords.”

Per GayWired:

“There’s no such thing as a gay community any more than there’s a straight community. Gay people are as disparate as any other group.” an organizer notes.

Photographs of the inspirational public figures will appear in a new exhibition due to open in July at the “London’s National Portrait Gallery.” While the gallery is holding back the full list of honorees until closer to the opening, former South African President Nelson Mandela was also named, along with singer K.D. Lang, entertainer Ellen DeGeneres, and politician Harvey Milk.

Per Bloomberg:

“We’re very clear that this is an exhibition for everybody,” said the gallery’s director, Sandy Nairne, at a press breakfast. “We want to get out to people who didn’t think they’d want to see it.”

Noticeably absent from this collection are Joan Crawford, Mae West, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, Joan Collins, Kylie Minogue, Dame Shirley Bassey, Oscar Wilde, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, and Barbra Streisand. Because the portraits in the show had to be photographs, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, William Shakespeare and Alexander the Great were also ruled out. The exhibition is set to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York and will take place at the National Portrait Gallery from July 2 to October 18.

Justin Timberlake Wants Jessica Biel GONE

Justin and Jessica have been facing break up rumors for quite some time. Justin Timberlake and Jessica Beil have been on the verge of break up for nearly a year now.

The latest in the reports of their stale saga is that the two have been fighting about what a slut Timberlake supposedly is. He has a wandering eye and likes to flirt. What man doesn’t? (He has a pulse and penis…he is going to look.) This doesn’t sit well with Biel and she is demanding an end to his heartthrob ways.

Via OK! Magazine:

“Jessica’s seen Justin flirt, but says it’s all in good fun,” the pal tells OK!. “But she has told him that if they get engaged, it’s got to end. Things seem a bit tense with them, but they’re trying to get past the rough patches.”

They shacked up together in his New York digs a few months ago, but he is hating the set up according to the “insider” close to the couple. He wants Jessica and her gigantic pie-hole out.

“Justin asked one of his longtime best friends how much time he’d need to give Jessica if he asked her to move out of their New York City apartment without seeming like a jerk.”

Oh Justin, Justin, Justin. What’s that old cliché? You made your bed ,so you have to sleep with whoever you put in it…or something like that. That applies here JT.

Natasha Richardson’s Skiing Accident May Be Fatal

We here at Hollywood Dame are very sad to report that Natasha Richardson has apparently indeed been declared brain dead after a traumatic head injury caused by a ski accident Monday in Canada. The “New York Post” is reporting the family gathered at her bedside last night to say their final goodbyes. The 45 year old actress’ condition has been described by doctors as a “leakage of blood between the brain and skull,” with Richardson’s family soon facing the decision on whether or not they should continue to administer medical assistance.

Via People:

“There is no chance,” said a family friend Tuesday night. “It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead. It’s not official yet, but they basically will detach her.”

As reported by TMZ, Richardson was unconscious, her pupils were non-reactive, and her skin was pale during her ambulance ride in New York to Lenox Hill Hospital. Her husband Liam Neeson held her hand and caressed her face the entire ride as he sat in silence. Their plane landed in New Jersey where medics on board told members of the ambulance team that Richardson was brain dead. Reps for the family have declined to comment, although her family is expected to release a statement today.

Heartbreaking. Our hearts and thoughts go out to her entire family at this tragic time.

Miley Cyrus’ Stalker Speaks To Her…Via Photos

Everyone’s favorite moral compass, Miley Cyrus has herself a much older man…and I am not talking about her 20-year-old boyfriend Justin Gaston. Actually, I am referring to Mark McLeod, a Georgia man who has reportedly been stalking Miss Cyrus for sometime.

McLeod recently showed up in some footage shot of Cyrus while the Hannah Montana star was in New York.

Via Gawker:

“He tells the ‘New York Daily News’ that they have a dialogue where he talks to the 16-year-old (out loud maybe?) and she responds through her various paparazzi photos.”

According to the website, he would also like to marry Miley in the future. Who wouldn’t? The chick is worth millions. I am sure Billy Ray is trying to find some backwards law that would allow him to marry her himself to get his hands on some of that cash.

Apparently, Miley isn’t too worried about McLeod. Though he looks rather creepy in the video, I couldn’t find any restraining order that has been issued against him on Miley’s behalf…yet. Someone clue this girl in before she turns into a lampshade in this guy’s apartment.

Joe Jonas’ Beard Causes Hysteria in New York

Tomorrow night the Jonas Brothers will being in New York to perform in Times Square at “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.”

The NYPD is nervous for the boy band’s performance. They have doubled security to prevent any injuries or deaths. The authorities are concerned about mob mentality and people being trampled.

According to People:

“So they’re now planning on using extra [security] men for support,” the source says. “It’s going to be crazy because everyone will be in Times Square to watch them perform on the show.”

WTF? Are they handing out locks of Nick’s hair? I don’t get it. Now that Joe Jonas has grown a mini goatee they will be shooting people with horse tranquilizers. My suggestion to the good people of New York….don’t look directly at the ‘stache. Hunker down and pray for daylight.
